Speaking of fortune cookies, I thought it would be fun to make a few imaginary ones of my own on this beautiful Sunday morning:
- Life is only as boring as you are.
- Better to shoot for stars and land on moon than shoot for mountain and reach it.
- To find yourself: Get lost.
- Like flies to poop, people are drawn to your smile.
- Everything is better naked.
- Wear lots of purple.
- Insulting others says little about them. Lots about you.
- You are da s**t.
- The blame game has no winners.
- When you are 80 years old, your job won’t hold your hand.
- You will be happy when you stop telling yourself, “I’ll be happy when…”
- He who defends himself has no time left to live.
Little-known Davey Wavey fact: Whenever I’m in Chinatown, I always buy a bag of miscellaneous fortune cookies. I try to eat a fortune cookie every day!

Be who you are and love yourself.

Don’t regret things you’ve done in the past – at one point it was something you wanted more than anything.
August 22, 2010 at 7:48 am
I love you.

If all the worlds a stage, which plank are you?

The reason manners are free is so that everyone can afford to have some.
An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.

Don’t let others do your thinking for you!

Let love hit you like a train would hit Hellen Keller.

Hmm, I love fortune cookies, though I cant be sure what fortune I want to find inside would be.
“Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone”
“Never eat yellow snow, never suck on blue ice”
“Man with hand in your bush – not always gardener”
“Man with tool in your mouth, not always dentist!”

Davey, I have the reputation of being a fortune cookie. So I could choose so many things.
I have kept all of my fortunes for the past 4 years. It all started when I received the same fortune twice from the same batch.
I blogged it back when it happened in 05. Out of three, two said the following.
“The love of your life is in front of your eyes.” I have both put away in a safe place. Since then, I know one love but the second love is still a mystery cos it could be one of two guys. The other person is my little star, my baby sister. She is an angel.

I collected the sayings from fortune cookies for a while and i used to tape them to my bedroom wall. They are long gone now however I still have 2 in my wallet they are “your love light shines on another,” and “your success will astonish everyone” they sit in front of my drivers license and every time i see them i re read them and smile
! Mine for the world would be “love your neighbor, because they love you”

don’t let time rule your life, you are what controls your destiny.

“Bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it a way to overcome it.”

How about This?: “Be yourself. Everyone else is taken” If you’re not familiar with this. Guess!

Conventional wisdom is often neither.
August 22, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Ever wondered why you cant turn your head 360 degrees? Maybe because we aren’t meant to ever look back.
August 22, 2010 at 1:50 pm
This is funny. My friends and i talked about a situation like this before. We imagined if we worked for the fortune cookie factory and type up random messages..
Dumb stuff like: ” your dog will have a 5th leg”
” you are fat” (ouch)
And all sorts or BS…
Besides the BS, i would put inside a cookie: ” your faith lies in your hands” and old say…
Truth: you are responsible for your action.

Why purple?
August 22, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Freedom is not received or earned, but found within.

Listen to peaceful music: calm will follow.

Thanks for the inclusion of purple–my mom passed away at almost 83 last Spring, several years ago we siblings bought her a nice purple dress and red hat ala the “Red Hatters” which have grown out of the poem, “When I am an old lady I shall wear a red hat with a purple dress…………….”, at Mom’s request, she was buried in her purple dress.
My fortune cookie message suggestion:
Worry is a fast getaway on a wooden horse.
August 22, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Life’s short, eat another cookie

The person who loves you the most lives in your mirror.

One day you wil find you are different then all the rest in a good way
August 22, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Work hard, but don’t let it consume you.

“Because love is all and can do nothing”
“Speaking is not communicating”
“The moment has come that everything is vanishing
To bloom with new colour and sound in the next one
And everything that was given so far
Will be no longer true”
